Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves are an American professional basketball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They were founded in 1989, and they compete in the NBA's Western Conference Northwest Division, with the Target Center becoming their home in 1990. Like most other expansion teams, the Timberwolves struggled in their early years, but their acquisition of Kevin Garnett in 1995 led to the team qualifying for the playoffs in eight consecutive seasons from 1997 to 2004. In 2007, the Timberwolves traded Garnett to the Boston Celtics, but he returned to the Timberwolves in February 2015 and retired in 2016.
